I reported the other day that the PSP Go was rumored to be finished. It was going around the internet that Sony’s hand held gamble was no longer being produced. News coming out today seems to say otherwise.

The PSP Go was released in 2009. It Promised the ability to have a completely UMDless portable gaming platform, making gaming on the go an ease. It never really caught on and now there are reports we won’t be seeing anymore PSP Go’s on the shelves.

Because we need more reasons not to buy the PSP Go, the prices for the PSP Go on Sony’s page seems to have gone back up to its original price of $199.99. Prices for the PSP Go on various other retailers also does not reflect the price drop as well.

The prominence of JRPG’s can be traced to Final Fantasy (and Dragon Quest). Square Enix announces some very old school RPGs for the PlayStation Network: the original Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II. They will be available for about $8.00 each.

It appears that Sony is not out of the running in the handheld gaming market. President and Group CEO of SCEI, Kazuo Hirai, made the announcement today at PlayStation Meeting 2011. It is currently codenamed NGP (Next Generation Portable.)

SNK Playmore celebrates the 20th anniversary of the NEOGEO system by launching a dedicated library on the PLayStation Network on December 21. Dubbed the NEOGEO station, it will host a continually growing library of classic SNK titles. Each game will be $8.99 for the PS3 and $6.99 for the PSP.
